Formal Church Ceremony For Kornmayer-McCulloch Wedding Held Here Sunday
Miss Freda Jeanne Kornmayer and John S. McCulloch were married last Sunday at a formal double-ring ceremony by the Rev. Earl S. Barnett of First Baptist church of which the bride has been an active member since childhood.

Daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Kornmayer, Sr., of Reno, the bride was given in marriage by her brother, Frank J. Kornmayer, and had as her only attendant her sister, Miss Mardelle Kornmayer.

Mr. McCulloch is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A.D. McCulloch of Elko, and he is now attending the University of Nevada as a pre-dental major.

For her wedding the bride chose a gown of heavy eggshell satin made with a lace yoke and lace panel down the front of the skirt which ended in a short train. The fingertip veil of illusion was held by a tiny seed pearl crown. She wore a pearl necklace, gift of the bridegroom, and for something old she wore an engagement ring which had belonged to her maternal grandmother. The traditional blue garter of Delta Delta Delta sorority was her something blue and the bridal bouquet was of white orchids in crescent shape with stephanotis.

Her sister as maid of honor wore wine and pink faille made with a hoop-skirt and bertha collar. Matching wine and pink chrysanthemums fashioned her crown and bouquet.

Two little flower girls, Trudy and Janis Tedford, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. K.H. Tedford of Fallon and nieces of the bride, wore long dresses of pink and wine made in a fashion similar to the maid of honor’s gown. They wore rosebud crowns and carried baskets of rose petals.

Best man was David Kinneberg of Battle Mountain, while William Kornmayer, brother of the bride, and Fred Muller, John Sullivan and William Plummer, jr., Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brothers of the bridegroom were ushers.

The church was decorated with large baskets of white chrysanthemums against banks of hucklyberry foliage and fern with tall white tapers in candelabra. Mrs. LeRoy Booth sang “Through the Years,” accompanied at the organ by Miss Betty McEwen who also played the traditional wedding marches.

A reception at the Twentieth Century club building followed the ceremony, where decorations featured baskets of chrysanthemums, and the bride’s table was centered with a three-tiered wedding cake topped with wedding bells and surrounded by a lei of white carnations and gardenia. The knife with which the cake was cut in traditional fashion was tied with a white satin bow with sprigs of stephanotis knotted in the streamers. Miss Anna Bee Wallace assisted in serving, and Miss Phyliss Green was in charge of the guest book.

Mrs. Frank J. Kornmayer, sister-in-law of the bride, wore for the wedding a gray suit with gray accessories and an orchid corsage. Mrs. Tedford, sister of the bride, wore a black afternoon dress with seqin [sic] trim and orchids. Mrs. McCulloch, mother of the bridegroom, chose a gray afternoon frock with which she wore a pink satin hat. She also wore an orchid corsage.

Flowers used in decorating the church and clubrooms for the reception were arranged by Mrs. Eileen Elliott of Oakland, aunt of the bride.

Mr. and Mrs. McCullcoh left immediately following the reception for a west coast honymoon trip, and the bride chose for traveling a suit of burgundy gabardine with which she wore gray accessories. They will make their home at 221 1/2 West Third street in Reno while Mr. McCulloch completes his college work at the University of Nevada.

The new Mrs. McCulloch is a senior student at the University of Nevada and a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority. She is active in Eastern Star and the Women’s Recreation association on the campus.
